Fruit slice summer bag

This fun and quick to make crochet pattern is suitable for an experienced beginner or intermediate crocheter. I have included lots of step by step photos and some videos to help you along the way.

Pattern is written in US crochet terms.

You will need: 6.5 mm crochet hook, yarn needle, stitch marker, scissors, chunky/bulky yarn. I used Deramores STUDIO Anti-Pilling Chunky: approximately 100 g mustard (about 85 m), under 50 g (about 35 m) of fir and under 50 g (about 25 m) of frost colour. You can substitute this yarn and use DK or aran/worsted doubled up if you haven’t got chunky/bulky yarn, the size of your bag might be different. My gauge/tension is 7 rows/ 6 stitches = 5 x 5 cm. However, this is not hugely important as depending on your tension, you will get either a slightly smaller or larger bag. Finished bag will be approximately 20 cm across, the length of the strap about 90 cm. This pattern is also suitable when crocheting left-handed.
